Library Use: The Library is an excellent place to find further
information about topics in mathematics. The computers in the library
are available for your use in finding information from the card catalog and the
internet as well as sending email.

Student Email Account If you don't currently have an email address, every
registered student has a web-based student email account.
Your UserName is your first middle and last initials followed by the last four
digits of your
social security number, as given on your application to CSI. If you didn't give
CSI a middle initial on your application, use x. E.g., if
my name was John Ronald Doe and my SSN was 123-45-6789, my login would be
jrd6789 . Your password is your full SSN without
dashes. You can access this account anywhere that you can find access to the
web: at home, in a public library, in a computer lab, etc.

Outcomes Assessment: Daily homework assignments will be collected,
graded, and analyzed. 9 tests and a final will be administered
and the results compared to course objectives.

Policies and Procedures:a. Attendance is important for your success in this class and homework
scores will be used as an attendance grade. Even if you don't
have the assignment done, you should turn in a page with your name and the
chapter and section. If missing class is unavoidable,
please make arrangements with a classmate to get notes and the assignment. b. Homework will be assigned daily and collected the next day. Since I
use homework as a record of attendance, late homework will not be accepted, no matter what the reason. From time to time,
circumstances may force a student to miss class. I recognize this and
will drop your eight lowest homework scores. Students who fail to turn in eight
or more homework assignments will be considered to
have missed eight class periods and I might drop you if I happen to feel like
it. Homework that is not neatly written on loose-leaf
paper (without spiral edges) will receive a grade of zero. Please staple. If you
do complete a homework assignment late and would like
to know the answers, come see me during office hours. If you are going to miss
class because of required attendance at a verified
school activity, you should turn in your completed assignment ahead of time and
see me before the next class to obtain the assignment
that will be due upon your return to class.c. 9 regular exams and 1 final will be given during the semester.
There will be NO makeup exams given so make sure you do not
miss a test. If an emergency arises and you cannot be there on a test day,
please contact me at C.S.I. You must contact me before the
exam. Leaving voice mail prior to the exam is sufficient. If you must miss a
test, that exam score will be dropped and replaced by
your final exam score. All tests, except for the final, will be taken in the
Campus Testing Center (GRM 230). The Testing Center
hours are Mon. - Thurs. 8:00 am - 9:30 pm. You cannot start a test after 8:30
pm. On Friday, the hours are 8:00 am - 4:30 pm. You
cannot start a test after 3:30 pm. Photo ID is required every time. The testing
center does not make exceptions!d. Grades will be calculated as follows: the homework average (after
dropping the lowest 8) will be 1/11 of your grade. Each of
the first nine tests will be 1/11 of your grade. The final will make up the
remaining 1/11 of your grade.
90 - 100 is an 'A', 80 - 89 is a 'B', 70 - 79 is a 'C', 60 - 69 is a 'D', and
below 60 is an 'F'
e. Please read the behavioral policies starting on page 15 of the current
CSI Catalog. Any violation of the policies will be dealt with
severely, including but not limited to, being dismissed from the class and/or
given a grade of "F" for the course.f. Cell Phones that ring or cause other disruptions will not be
tolerated. If you anticipate that a child, friend, spouse, etc. may need to
call you because of an emergency and your cell phone cannot be set to alert you
silently, you should arrange for the caller to dial CSI
security at 732-6605. Failure to respect the rights of others in the class will
in most cases lead to a verbal warning on the first offense
and a grade of “F” and/or withdrawal from the class if the problem persists.g. I will make every effort to give appropriate accommodation to
any documented disability.h. I reserve the right to correct errors or omissions in this
syllabus.

The following schedule is TENTATIVE and subject to change. If you miss
class, be sure to check with a classmate for information
about sections covered and assignments.
